Inmate Seriously Injured In Prison Protest

29 July 2015

A prisoner has been seriously injured during a violent protest at Cloverhill Prison. Up to 15 inmates refused to go back to their cells from the B Yard this afternoon. Two of them climbed onto the adjoining roof. Control and restraint teams had to be drafted in to bring the situation under control. Separate investigations will now be carried out by the prison service and Gardaí.
